to my fellow content creators and their supporters...
⊹・ starting from december 21, tumblr is expanding its list of banned tags on its ios apps to comply with app store’s (new?) guidelines.
⊹・no official list has been released detailing all the tags that have been banned. however, @bannedtags has compiled a list of known banned tags, which is linked at the bottom of this post.
⊹・sadly in the mix are tags such as #mine, #my stuff, and #*mine, all which are commonly used among the editing community, as well as some tracking tags such as #bbelcher.
⊹・for content creators who use such tags, this means that their posts (and any reblogs of such posts) will be unavailable to be viewed on the ios apps from anyone’s dashboards.
⊹・however, the posts are still viewable if you go to one’s blog directly or if post notifications for a certain blog is turned on.
⊹・if you are a content creator using one of these newly banned tags, rather than using mass post editor to delete & add tags, tag replacer is a far easier tool to use.
⊹・a popular tag used in the editing community that has not been affected (yet) is #*, which you may consider using instead.
